Spider-Man 2 Players Can No Longer Free-Roam As Venom

Spider-Man 2's latest patch has removed a boundary break glitch that was allowing players to take Venom out of his scripted mission and explore New York City.

Just like every Spider-Man fan was hoping would be the case before launch, Spider-Man 2 lets you play as Venom in a brutal sequence towards the end of the game. As awesome as it is to rip through Oscorp as Venom, the carnage is pretty short overall and only lasts for about 20 minutes or so, leaving a lot of fans wanting more.

Venom's playable section in Spider-Man 2 might be short, but he's clearly set up for a bigger role in the series' future, something that Insomniac Games has even teased that it's interested in doing.

As gamers have proven time and time again, though, when there's a will, there's a glitch that'll give you exactly what you want.

Doing that would let you run around New York City as Venom to your heart's content, which was a bit of a trek considering he can't swing anywhere and can only leap around. He might not have been able to swing, but at least he could do what Peter Parker couldn't - the Wakanda Salute.

Spider-Man 2 players had a lot of fun with that glitch and, after two updates that seemingly ignored it completely, it looked like it was sticking around. That sadly isn't the case, however, as the most recent patch for Spider-Man 2, Patch 1.001.005, not only makes another attempt to kill off Spider-Man turning into a white cube, but it also removes the boundary break entirely.
